   Hello,
I edited /etc/X11/XF86Config as directed and still get original error:
   can't open default font 'fixed'
 
 Hmm, that's slightly unexpected. Can we have a look at all of your
 /var/log/XFree86.0.log file, please?

You probably have a problem with the permission of the files

/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/misc/fonts.alias
/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/misc/fonts.dir

(one RPM upgrade made them readable only by root).

Just do (as root)

chmod a+r /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/misc/fonts.*

and restart xfs (service xfs restart).

It should work after that.

Best,

Diego
